Last year the Saints thrived in their switch to the 3-4, but this year Rob Ryan's crew has gone back to a base 4-3 with mostly nickel sets. The results have been disastrous. Apparently they don't feel they have three linebackers who are good enough to play consistently, so if Rob Ryan still has a job next year you can bet it will be on the top of their priority list to get some playmaking linebackers. No better solution would be adding the nation's most dynamic pass rusher in the lightning quick Shane Ray. Thanks to a lethal first step and non-stop energy, Ray led the SEC in sacks with 12.5. Taking Ray and moving Junior Gallette back to OLB would allow the Saints to go back to the 3-4 with two qualified edge rushers.

How in the hell do you feel you have no linebackers to play 3-4 when it's the same crew from last year, that was supposed to be improved.

Whoever wrote that has no clue what they are talking about. We rarely played a "base" defense last year, and when we did it was usually with 4 down linemen, not 3.

This year we actually played a respectable amount of base 3-4, especially the last 2 games. That's due to our secondary sucking more this year.

I have to admit, even though physically they may have not been good Jenkins and Harper made a big difference in at least getting guys lined up.
